Ever heard of this kind of Berry?

I've never heard of Marionberry but I love all berries so I'm sure I would love it as well. Since it's made in Oregon, I'm sure you could buy it online somewhere. I've never had/heard of crabapple jelly before till one of my customers gave me a small jar of it for a Christmas gift several years ago. It was really good and she said she would make more for me if I brought her the crabapples. Little did she know my mom has 3 of those trees in her yard and I brought her a bushelful. I paid her for it, though. I'm usually up for trying new things at least once and surprised how I end up liking most things I try.

looked it up, its a kind of blackberry... Marion blackberry (marketed as marionberry) is a hybrid blackberry that is a cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' berries.[1]

never heard of this berry. So must be something that just grows in Oregon!

I have heard of marion berry but have never tried it. I don't really know much about it but it sounds good.

I've heard of Marionberries before. There's a lot of them in the Oregon-Idaho area. The grocery stores and ice cream parlors around where I live [in Idaho] have them all the time. they're a lot like black berries. :)

Marionberries are a blackberry variety developed in 1956 by crossing two other hybrid varieties of blackberry: Chehalem Blackberry and Ollalieberry Blackberry. They are grown commercially pretty much exclusively in Oregon and most of the farms are in the Willamette Valley (Salem area). The Marionberry was developed by George F. Waldo and tested in Marion County, for which it was named. You can purchase marionberry products online at: www.yournw.com (I'm sure there are other places to purchase online, as well). I'm not sure if they ship outside of the US, but Marionberry products are shipped worldwide, so if you're outside of the US, you should still be able to find them. If you ever get to Oregon during the harvest season (the first three weeks of July), you should be able to find fresh Marionberries in most grocery stores and at roadside stands in the Willamette Valley.

I just saw this name on a yogurt package on a commercial for the first time ever this morning. Before that I had never heard of it. May have to try it myself.

hhmmm never heard of a marionberry before now I have had brambleberry tea though an its good

I have never heard of that berry but it sounds wonderful! I'll have to look it up and see where I can possibly get a taste of it. I don't like many fruits and any that I can find new and yummy I need to find!

Hi koalatbs, No I have never heard of marionberries, what colour is it, red or black? I bet you enjoyed that. Tamara

I've never heard of it, but you've piqued my interest now. I'm going to have to do some searching to see if I can find anything with marionberry in it! Thanks for letting us know about something new...or at least new to us!

Hello, I like marionberry's. I sometimes even buy marionberry pie ice cream made by Tillamook.The best berry in my opinion is the huckleberry and they grow way up high in the mountains and are grown no where else. They have been around for hundreds of year if not thouseands of years.

I have heard of it, I had to think a minute or two. It's a type of blackberry, that is a blend of two other "breeds" of blackberry. My grandmother used to let us pick them and make jams. As I recall the are smaller and sweeter than their east coast cousins. I LOVE them though...some people also call them loganberries (which is actually one of the hybrids used to breed the marionberry). That berry is native to the Northwest area and is actually farmed in Oregon.

I never hear it before. Maybe this kind of berry is difficult to get in any country. "Although we never hear it before, but i think we can eat it to know about it"

i never heard of this kind of berry before... but by the sound of it, it sounds very nice and wonderful... i will try to find it here in australia... but i don't think i will be able to find it as you say that it is originated from portland, oregon... if i can find it here, i will definitely give it a try... take care and have a nice day...

No, I've NEVER heard of marionberry in my life - it's a new one on me! I know there are a lot of berries out there in the world - in Australia there are many wild ones which the indigenous people are aware of and have been using for bush tucker and natural medication for generations - but they are not as well known to others. I'll be on the lookout for mention of marionberries from now on, though - they sound delicious!

I think it's our state fruit, it's a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry, I think. We can get pies, jams, teas and juice through out Oregon. Look for it on the internet I'm sure you can send for some.

Ive never heard of it but you live and learn. Sounds wonderful! So they grow on vines??

Nope, but there are so many berries and goods that I haven't heard of before at least. It is still my dream to travel the world to be able to taste and see all different types of cultures and foods, available for consumption.

I have never heard of this berry either, and I am in the midwest..Michigan..we have a ton of cherry type jams here as we have the cherry fesitival every year in Traverse city... but I havent heard of this one, I am going to look it up and see what I can find out about it... and if you can order it on the web. thanks for the info!!
